I did a whole series of posts a while back, when a site was (automatically) copying my posts without linking back. I started to have fun with them by posting statements in my own copy, like "Just Pocket Camera [the offending site] is stealing my posts." That way, they were publishing the incriminating information directly. It took about a week, but they soon stopped.

This was likely aided by an email sent to Google. If the site is using Google ads, Google has a procedure in place for taking such sites down or at least making them desist. On the site's Google ads, click "Ad choices," then scroll down to this link: "If you'd like to report a policy violation regarding the site or ads you just saw, please let us know."

It was so odd to see the thesaurus-grinder version when I happened on it -- the original excellent article by Karen is here by the way -- http://www.businessweek.com/small-business/whether-to-shutter-a-struggling-family-business-07012011.html -- took me quite a while to figure out what was going on.

If I were 5'0" and 100 pounds, I could claim the term "Little Business-Writer," sort of like the "Little Chinese Seamstress" (great book, by the way).

Yes, they are basically just a site to bring in google ad revenue, which I think is a joke unless you have a really perfect domain name and those are all long taken. I'll follow your advice on reporting them, Petrea.
